A historic moment in Milwaukee: The Bucks sign Alex Antetokounmpo and make NBA history. For the first time ever, three brothers are on active contracts with the same team at the same time.
The Milwaukee Bucks have taken an extraordinary step: As Shams Charania (ESPN) reports, the youngest Antetokounmpo brother, Alex, has signed a two-way contract with the 2021 NBA champions. This means he will be joining Giannis and Thanasis in the Bucks’ roster. This is a first in the history of the league.
To make room: Bucks part ways with guard
To make room for the signing, Milwaukee parted ways with guard Jamaree Bouyea. The 26-year-old played in the G League for the Wisconsin Herd and Austin Spurs last season, averaging 18.7 points and 4.5 assists. Bouyea previously played in the NBA for Miami, Washington, Portland, San Antonio, and Milwaukee, among others.
Alex Antetokounmpo played for PAOK Thessaloniki in Greece last season. The 24-year-old averaged 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 14 games. The fourth brother, Kostas Antetokounmpo, is staying in Europe: he has been under contract with Olympiacos Piraeus since the summer.
